Skin prep is an essential step before applying wound dressings, external catheters, or ostomy appliances. These products clean the skin or form a protective barrier, helping medical supplies stick better while reducing irritation. Whether you're caring for a wound, managing an ostomy, or using adhesive medical products, skin prep helps protect your skin and improve comfort.

What Is Skin Prep?

Skin prep solutions come in different forms, including wipes, sprays, and liquids. Some formulas clean the skin to remove oils and residue, while others create a thin, protective layer that shields against friction, adhesive, and bodily fluids. This is especially helpful for people with sensitive skin or those using medical supplies daily.

Why Use Skin Prep?

Using skin prep helps prevent damage caused by repeated adhesive removal. In wound care and ostomy care, skin prep can reduce the sting and discomfort that often comes with bandage or wafer changes. For sensitive areas, a no-sting formula is recommended to avoid alcohol-related irritation. Learn more in our guide on how to use skin prep.

Adhesive Removers and Skin Care

After removing a dressing or medical product, it's important to clear away any leftover adhesive. Buildup can prevent new dressings from sticking properly. Adhesive removers are specially designed to gently clean the skin without causing damage or dryness.

Trusted Skin Prep Products

Torbot is a popular brand for skin prep and ostomy care. Their quick-drying skin adhesives form a secure hold, while their adhesive remover wipes are strong enough to clean thoroughly and gentle enough for daily use. For irritated skin around the stoma or other sensitive areas, Torbot aloe wipes offer soothing relief and added moisture. They’re also great for treating sunburn, dry patches, and minor scrapes.
